Notice of Consolidation of Requirement for Transparent Armor Doors

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has issued a Special Notice announcing the consolidation of the requirement for Transparent Armor Doors, effective immediately. This advance notification is issued in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 7.107-5 and serves to inform the contracting community of the agency's determination that consolidating this requirement is necessary and justified. The forthcoming solicitation will be identified by Notice ID SPE7LX26R0017 and will be published no earlier than seven calendar days from the notice posting date of January 5, 2026. This Special Notice is not itself a solicitation and does not require or request any response from interested parties. The requirement falls under NAICS category 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing) and PSC category 2541 (Weapons Systems Specific Vehicular Accessories).

The consolidation determination aims to streamline the procurement process for this transparent armor door requirement by combining what may have been previously separate or fragmented requirements into a single acquisition. This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small business concerns are eligible to compete for the eventual contract opportunity. Formal solicitation documents and a complete synopsis will be released no earlier than January 12, 2026, providing interested small business contractors with sufficient notice to prepare their proposals. The due date for responses is January 13, 2026, which contractors should monitor for the official solicitation release.
